SUSPENSION-HOOK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 409,239, dated August20, 1889.

Application filed March 22, 1889. Serial No. 304,300. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, LOUIS F. ROLLER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Rutledge, in the county of Delaware and State ofPennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement inSuspension-Hook s, which improvement is fully set forth in the followingspecification and accompanying drawin gs.

My invention relates to adjustable straps having movable hooks securedthereto; and it consists of the combination and arrangein cut of parts,as herein set forth and claimed.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a suspension-hook embodying myinvention. Fig. 2 represents a perspective view on an enlarged scale.Fig. 3 represents a partial side elevation and a partial verticalsection of a hook on an enlarged scale.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the severalfigures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a strap of leather or othersuitable material, and B designates a hook, which is connected with thestrap at a right angle to the length of the same, so as to support ahat, coat, &c., thereon when the strap is fastened to a tree, post, orother support, as will be seen in Fig. 1, said strap having at one end abuckle C, so that'it is firmly secured in position.

In order to adjust the hook around the tree or support, the upper end ofthe same is formed with loop D, through which the strap passes, wherebythe hook may he moved toward either end of the strap without losing itssupport thereon, and thus set or adjusted according to requirements.

I11 order to prevent the hook from turning 011 the strap, its back isformed with a plate F, which widens said back and presents a broadsurface in contact with the strap.

The device will be found useful for camping, picnic, and other purposes,and when not required it may be unbuckled from the tree, &c, and formedin a compact bundle, as is evident.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

A strap having a buckle, in combination with a hook having a loop in itsupper end through which the strap passes, and a plate secured to theback of the loop end of the hook and adapted to be in contact with thesaid strap, substantially as described.
